Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Joshua is The A-side, Wilder Should Fight Him in UK

[Robbie Barrett]

what offer was made?

they havent even negotiated yet idiot and you already got an excuse?

joshua is currently negotiating a parker fight not a wilder fight.

Of course they've been negotiating. They met up in America didn't you hear? Both Hearn and Wilder confirmed Wilder said 50% or no fight.

For a guy that doesn't make even 10% his opponent does to ask for 50% is a clear ****ing duck move.

Stop being so ******ed.

The fight will be in Vegas. The Brits will travel for it too I'm sure. The casino money is too good to pass up and then you've got HBO PPV for prime time in US and the Brits will still buy it even at 3 or 4 in the morning.

Wherever they fight the crowd will be with Joshua. Even Alabama. Brits travel. Wilder fans don't exist and/or buy tickets.

thats my biggest fear. they are both to chinny to let the fight marinate

They're just heavyweights.

99% of them keep chinned at some point. And both are due.

Ortiz and Parker are both live opponents.

That version of Stiverne was obviously a bit crap but I can't see either being put in with a pudding ever again.

Doesn't take a genius to work this out.

Says Wilder is B side
Says Aj is being overlooked by Wilder fanboys
Fight should happen in UK

Race rooters will be confused as ****

It's Fiddy's fault.

It could also be called negotiation. Why start with 30%? To end with 20%? Starts with 50% and get 30%.

Both guys seem fairly happy to take interim fights and let the fight build a bit more. Smart move - Joshua with 3 belts coming over to conquer America against the American hope in a fight with all 4 belts on the line.

Like I said people seem more interested in who's ducking who rather than who's fighting who.

I find Wilder annoying with his talk and acting like he's been ducked though.

Saying i want X or no fight isn't negotiating is it? That's demanding.

Did he say BEYONCE Wilder?

It's happening in America and Las Vegas my friend it's fairly obvious if you have Brains.This is because of the difference between a USA PPV Price and a UK PPV Price.Watch this .https://*************/watch?t=7s&v=2vXnHVha89k This is spot on and i am from the UK.Why do you think also Showtime buy Joshua's Fights which costs them millions.So all his fight can air in the afternoon with 300k people watching.They invested in him so they can build up to a Wilder fight.That's why Wilder deserves a 60/40 because he brings the chance of a US PPV.Parker and Fury dont bring in a US PPV because they are not American.Watch this after what Schaffer said,Hearn didnt deny it.https://*************/watch?v=1-CF4d-AoUc

The fight will happen (if Wilder doesn't lose to Ortiz) in 2018. Can't blame a guy for seeing how far someone will bend on negotiations trying for 50% of a $20m pot. If he sticks to his guns on 50% and it doesn't happen in 2018 then sure he's ducked it but until then let it play out.
